Burger King Commercial

I had just put Cade to bed and returned to the living room for "my time" with the TV. I had the remote in my hand and was just about to change the channel from Nickelodeon to American Idol when this commercial began.

My mouth dropped open. Not at all sure of what I had just witnessed, I pressed rewind (I love my DVR for this reason!) and watched again. OMG! The Burger King just placed a square on that lady's rear! And Sir Mix-a-lot did say booty...on Nickelodeon! I was stunned. Are they really trying to sell Burger King Kids Meals (with Spongebob and Patrick as the toy)? Yes, we all know Spongebob has a square bottom, but is promoting that really going to sell meals?! And I can't believe they followed Sir Mix-a-lot's video so closely - the way those girls were dancing! And with sponges(?) in their pants?! I was thankful Cade was upstairs sleeping.

I must be getting old, I thought, shaking my head as I changed channels. I must have turned into a prude last Tuesday.

Alas, this morning I log into AOL and find I'm not the only one wondering if the Burger King ad is inappropriate for kids.

My Birthday Cake

My most favoritest (yes, it's a word!) movie of all time is The Pirate Movie. I was very fortunate to have received the DVD for Christmas, and have watched it numerous times since.

Tonight, Ken surprised me with a themed birthday cake. Yes, that's Will Turner and Jack Sparrow defending the Black Pearl from the Kracken. It's as close as he could come to a Pirate Movie cake.

I loved it!

Hey Kiddo

Instead of sending the usual card for this occasion about gray hair, creakin bones, and hearing loss, I thought I would take you back to a time when birthdays were really fun. Hope your day is filled with sunshine and cheer!

Luv Always,

Is 40 Hotter Than 20?

Thank you, Ken, for making me feel a little better.

The F Word

For the last 6 months my mother has been very aware of my dropping a certain five letter word, a certain two-digit number, from my vocabulary. She is also very aware that I abhor the five letter word to be used in conjunction with March 31, 2009.

My mother is also aware that, as far as I'm concerned, tomorrow is not a special occasion nor is tomorrow any cause for celebration. It is merely another Tuesday in the year 2009. One in which I would happily skip.

My mother, of course, had her own thoughts regarding the F word. For the last 9 days she has sent, via my own daughter no less, these:



Some might say these cards are her way of getting back at me for the (alleged!) aggravation I caused during my childhood. Some might say these cards are her way of gently getting me used to tomorrow - you know, slowly heating up the pan of hot water in which I inevitably sit. Some might say she is simply helping me to laugh tomorrow off.

I say....revenge!

Chillin With The Dogs

Lost Generation

Awwwww...

Mallorie "baby"sat Cade while I was running sound last night. They were up in her room watching TV and eating popcorn. Having a pajama party, as Cade likes to call it. She sent this pic to me when I sent a text around 9:30p asking how they were doing.

Staged Reading, "Rabbit Hole"

Since I ran sound for the show, Cade and Mallorie came with me Friday night. Cade was very excited to climb up to and hang out with me in the sound "booth". That is until 15 minutes into the show when being so high up lost its appeal. Still, he remained with me and watched the show over the edge. He enjoyed it, laughing with the audience, until sleep got the better of him.

Mallorie sat with Jamie. Based on their responsive laughter, both of them really enjoyed the show. There were about 28 other folks in Friday's audience, and what a great audience! One audience member even cheered for Nat (Maggie Gallagher) shouting "You go, mommy!"

I was sans kids at Saturday's performance. The audience, in number, was the same as Friday, but they were very quiet. (Except for one woman, who very loudly stated the obvious.)

Overall I think Saturday's performance was better than Friday's. Amy de Luz (as Becca) seemed more relaxed, and Don Gunther (as Howie) rolled with his emotions. Maggie and Aaron (as Jason) gave consistent, beautiful performances; each affecting the audience in very touching ways. I was very impressed with Laurel Ullman (as Izzy) who beautifully handled a great deal of wine spillage!

Exciting News!

Last season's hit comedy The Nebula of Georgia, written and directed by Joe Nierle will travel to New York to be presented at off-Broadway's The Manhattan Repertory Theatre. A cast of seven Greensboro actors will perform the show on May 20,21,22 at the theatre located at 42nd Street and 8th Avenue.

And guess who will be stage managing the show?

ME!!!!

An Evening at the Theatre

Flanagan's Wake is an interactive Irish wake that has been running in Chicago for 13 years. It was the word "interactive" that piqued my interest. So, I called Ken and we saw the show at Open Space Cafe Theatre last night.

As you are being seated, Flanagan's family and friends greet you, asking your name. The name was going on a nametag that you were asked to wear. Now because I knew it was interactive theatre, I gave my name as Robin - an homage to the assistant director/stage manager, hair/makeup, costume extraordinaire Robin T. Rich-McGhie. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it passed her and she quickly advised of my real name. Ken and I were then ushered to a table at the very front of the stage. (I knew better but there was no polite way to refuse the seating. It was a wake afterall!)

The wake began and we learned that Flanagan died bungee-jumping into a vat of Guinness, Ken Patrick was called up to give Mother a kiss, Mary Cheryl Ann was ousted as Flanagan's mistress (Robin getting me back!), and the Mayor told Flanagan's favorite story.

I thoroughly enjoyed the interactive show. I was very impressed with the level of talent and quick thinking. Dale Donathan, who played Mikey Finn, was very good. Stuart Stanley was my absolute favorite. As the Mayor Martin O'Doul, he told a completely invented story using several suggestions from the audience. He is a true improv performer!

A Script Report

I share Christmas Eve's philosophy that "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist". As such, I found Rebecca Gillman's Spinning Into Butter an uninteresting read.

I understood why Sarah, the Dean of Students, suggested a Nuyorican student change his ethnicity to Puerto Rican. (Because I understand her motivation, does that make me a racist?) I agreed with her suggestion to talk to Simon, an African-American freshman who is receiving hate mail, before the college embarks on campus-wide racism discussions. These type discussions never work. And I even understand the notes Sarah makes on her writing pad. Notes that eventually lead to her resignation. I mean, given a unique set of circumstances, haven't we all had thoughts similar to those notated by Sarah?

For me, the play was overblown and stuffy. Although that might have been Gillman's point. Certainly some colleges take themselves too seriously.

If we all could just admit that we are racist a little bit,
And everyone stopped being so PC
Maybe we could live in ... harmony!

SETC Convention, Buying Scripts - Part I

I was very excited to learn that Dramatists Play Service had a booth in the Commercial Exhibits. 90% of the scripts I've ordered are from DPS via amazon.com. You can get them - buy 3, get one free. So, once I got pro-auditions going after lunch, I decided to take a break and do some script shopping.

Talk about a kid in a candy store! As soon as I walked through the Exhibit Hall, I saw their booth and all but ran over to the table. Oh, the bright script colors, the pristine look of scripts yet to be read. The guy behind the table made my heart skip a beat with his "All scripts are $5, and if you buy 3 you get one free" advisory. OMG! This was a much better deal than amazon.com! I think I actually drooled a bit. I was captivated and could not wipe the smile off my face!

As I practically danced around the tables, I couldn't help but shout in delight. There on the table before me were two of the Arlene Hutton scripts I had on my amazon.com wish list. Not wanting to hedge my bets on upcoming birthday gifts, I picked up both scripts. As I did, I asked the man behind the table about the 3rd, as of yet unpublished, script in her Nibroc trilogy.

As he answered my question, I looked at his nametag - Craig Pospisil. The name looked familiar, but I couldn't place it. As I rounded another table, I saw it. The cover for Life is Short. He is a playwright. I was pretty sure I had one of his scripts so I asked him what else he'd written. His list didn't ring any bells, but he did tell me that he's writing a play with Arlene Hutton. I was thrilled to hear that news.

I ended up spending $30 and got 8 scripts - The Great American Trailer Park Musical, Thrill Me, Five Course Love, Last Train to Nibroc, See Rock City, Southern Hospitality, Dying City, and Enchanted April. As if that wasn't enough, I also got, for free, an Almost, Maine button and a DPS keychain.

Can't you just hear my triumphant giggling?

A Book Report

I am slowly working my way through Neil LaBute plays. I was able to borrow The Distance From Here from the library, so I took it off my amazon.com wishlist. I finished it today.

The play centers around a slacker teenager, Darrell, his girlfriend Jenn and Tim, his best friend. Darrell is growing up in one of those "going nowhere, destined to repeat the cycle" families. Darrell's mother, Cammie, largely ignores him, as does his stepfather. His stepsister has a baby, but is incapable of caring for him. She consistently allows the baby to cry.

Upon completing the book, my initial reaction was negative. I did not like it at all. But as I've allowed it to digest, I realize how honest of a piece it really is.

The play has it's shocking moments. It is a LaBute play after all. These moments both disgusted and fascinated me, which is a true measure of his extraordinary writing. These two moments, to me, so unfathomable and yet so very honest and true in their presentation. The Distance From Here is a must read.

My and Mallorie's recent school fight is mentioned in the Liberty, the ACLU of NC's quarterly newsletter. Check it out - bottom of the front page!

It is such a pretty snow. I'm very disappointed that I will not be able to go out and play in it with Cade, Mallorie, Jazmin and Cosi. We are still leaving for Birmingham today.

Cade took these pictures so I'd remember the snow.

It's Snowing!

The kids have been waiting, patiently, for it to snow. The flakes have finally arrived and school has officially been called. It did not matter that it was 10 o'clock at night! Mallorie and Cade could not resist walking the dogs and playing in the snowfall. And in their pajamas no less!

A Book Report

Just finished Madeleine Wickham's The Gatecrasher. If it hadn't been spelled out for me on the cover of the book, I never would have guessed Sophie Kinsella had actually penned this ridiculous book. I usually love Kinsella's highly entertaining books. This one was an absolute disappointment, right down to the last page of loose ends.

The pink and green cover frequently drew my attention in the book section of Target. I thank my lucky stars that I never made the purchase. I borrowed the book from the library. I'm glad to say, I'm returning it as soon as possible.

My First Album

Inspired by The Seventh Sense.

A Book Report

I just finished reading this steamy novel. What a great read! It's got everything in it a girl would love: a hero who is totally in love with the heroine, a hero who takes care of the "needs" of the heroine, a heroine who is strong willed and doesn't take any crap from anyone; intrigue and kidnapping, rescue and romance. I thoroughly enjoyed the book from the first delicious page to the last.

Ooh la la. Fever indeed.

Waiting for the Doctor

He doesn't look sick, does he? But he was running a fever so I took him to the doctor. Yep, an ear infection.

It's About Time

'Gossip' singer Beth Ditto, whose powerhouse voice, sexy performances and comfort level in her plus-sized frame have won her fans ranging from Rosie O'Donnell to Keira Knightley, shows off another side of herself for the premiere issue of Love Magazine.

Editor-in-Chief Katie Grand promised the publication would be ‘very curvy’ and that ‘no one is a sample size in the whole issue’, and with Miss Ditto on the cover she seems to have kept her word to the extreme.

"She says the wrong things. She looks the wrong way. Isn't it confounding and amazing to have an iconic figure who doesn't have a 25-inch waist?" says Love editor Katie Grand. "She is happy with who she is and the way she is."

Happy Valentine's Day

An Early Valentine's

Cade came home from school today with a whit paper bag covered in red construction paper hearts. We took out all the Valentine's cards he received. He then told me to close my eyes, which I did, and he then handed me this valentine. These are my favorite valentine's "cards".

After Cade went to bed, Mallorie actually asked if I wanted to watch House, Season 1 with her. Honestly I didn't care what it was she wanted to watch. When my 16-year-old daughter suggests spending time with me, the answer is a resounding you betcha!

We watched two episodes and took a break for popcorn and cold medicine. (I got the former, she the latter.) About 10 minutes into the third episode the cold medicine began to make her drowsy. Mallorie curled up against me and laid her head on my shoulder. {sigh} I'm not sure what the episode was about; I was too busy thanking God for the moment. Drug induced or not, with a teenager you have to take these wonderful moments when they come.

Reading Fool, Part 2

Not only am I inspired to read scripts after playreading meetings, I also try to read a few before meetings so I can pass along the scripts. I just finished these today. In Where's My Money? a ghost requests payment of his $2700, Tuesdays With Morrie deals with death from Lou Gehrig's Disease, and Taking Leave is about 3 sisters dealing with their Dad's Alzheimer's.

Very heavy subjects, especially to be reading all in one day. My next script had better be a laugh-a-minute comedy!

What, my dear, were you thinking?

A wonderful letter to Charla from Stephanie Hunt.

Front Pager: Musical tells story of Leopold and Loeb

By Mary Martin Niepold
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL
Published: February 8, 2009

Putting a murder to music may not be new, but it does curl the brain somehow. Sweeney Todd did it, and Oklahoma! to a lesser degree. Kurt Weill is famous on the subject.

Now, "The Murder of the Century" is the focus of the two-man musical from Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance, Thrill Me: The Leopold & Loeb Story.

For good ole, cold-blooded, calculated murder -- the brainchild of two very intelligent young men -- you can't ask for more than this particular, real-life crime, which happened in Chicago in 1924. It involved the murder of a young boy by Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, who were longtime friends, privileged Jewish university students and, possibly, lovers.

The murder set the country on its ear and immortalized the eloquent, 12-hour indictment of the death penalty by the duo's defense attorney, Clarence Darrow.

Jamie Lawson, the artistic director of Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance, is moving the company beyond its reliable roster of edgy humor. Lawson said he's still not sure why he picked Thrill Me, but he knows that he likes it and serves as the show's director and one of its co-stars.

He hasn't acted for nine years. His last role as one of several cowboys in Crazy For You is hardly preparation for playing a cold-blooded murderer who sings.

In this show, he plays Leopold, the younger of the pair who didn't necessarily concoct the murder but needed so much to be loved that he went along with his friend, Loeb, who enjoyed Nietzchean "superman" fantasies. Together, they came up with "the perfect crime," and newspapers relished headlines about "thrill killers."

Needing love from a madman may not be new subject matter, but in this show it's all set to music. First performed at the Midtown International Theater Festival in New York in 2003, the musical by Stephen Dolginoff (book, musics and lyrics) went to a larger Off-Broadway venue in 2005 by the York Theatre Company.

Songs are simply titled: "Thrill Me," "Way Too Far" and "Keep Your Deal with Me."

Lawson says that directing a two-man musical is easy enough. Bryan Daniel plays Loeb, and Lawson describes directing as something like, "OK, Bryan, you sing that line. OK. Then you come to me."

The subject matter, however, keeps Lawson thinking.

"The murder was so shocking," he said. "Why would two wealthy, everything-going-for-them kids want to do something like this? What was the motivation?

"Anything you do today is captured on the Internet or by your neighbor.

"We're just fascinated with this stuff," he said. "It's an episode on CSI, for heaven's sake. It's a history lesson to music. It's CNN, 2009."

Leopold and Loeb's murder of a 14-year-old boy who lived in their same wealthy neighborhood entailed killing him, then pouring hydrochloric acid on the body. Afterward, they had dinner.

One of the intrigues of the material, Lawson said, is comparing what happened in 1924 to the bombardment of violent and titillating imagery and behaviors we live with every day today.

"I can't figure out if there was the same amount of this kind of behavior back then and we just didn't have YouTube to tell us about it. Or do we have more of it because we're bombarded with this flow of stimulus? From the moment I get up, there's this constant stream of information -- the computer, the TV, even the billboards are everywhere."

The show is told from the point of view of Lawson's character, Leopold. It's 1958, he's up for parole for the fifth time, and flashbacks take the audience to the planning of the murder -- and the twisted relationship between the two men.

What's revealed in the show is that they had signed a contract. "The contract was to fulfill one another's needs whatever they are," Lawson said.

Loeb was killed in prison, and Leopold was paroled after 33 years whereupon he moved to Puerto Rico.

Lawson is still thinking about his choice.

"I really don't know what compelled me to this show -- to picking it -- and to being in it. I don't usually play characters so deviant. I'm used to fluff, playing fluffy characters."

■ The Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance presents Thrill Me: The Leopold & Loeb Story at 8 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Feb. 19-21, and at 2 p.m. on Feb. 22. Tickets are $16 for adults and $14 for seniors and students. 1047 Northwest Blvd., Winston-Salem, N. C. Call 336-723-7777.

A New Dress: Little Theatre name change aims to help build audience

By Ken Keuffel
JOURNAL REPORTER
Published: January 30, 2009

The "Twin City" moniker is popular in Winston-Salem. It identifies a restaurant, a chorus and a minor-league hockey team.

And in September, it will figure prominently in the new name of an old theater company -- when the Little Theatre of Winston-Salem officially becomes Twin City Stage.

Norman Ussery, the Little Theatre's executive director, said he will announce the name change tonight at the Arts Council Theatre before the Little Theatre begins its run of I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change. The new name will coincide with Little Theatre's 75th-anniversary season.

The name change is being introduced gradually. Current patrons will be reminded of it during I Love You and two other shows this season. And when the 2009-2010 season brochure goes out in May, it will feature the new name as well, along with the original one to avoid confusion.

Ussery said last week that the Little Theatre has 1,500 subscribers and 500 "frequent" patrons.

"They know who we are and what we do, but we discovered that there are more than (these) 2,000 people living in Winston-Salem," Ussery said with a smile. "They don't know what we do. They don't know where we are.… If we're going to get a new audience, then we have to do some new things."

One of those "things" is a new name and a logo to go along with it.

Ussery said that the decision followed both extensive study -- several focus groups with different constituents were consulted -- and hiring the Russell Agency to develop a marketing and branding strategy. A $30,000 grant from the Winston-Salem Foundation underwrote the cost of hiring the agency.

The new name will help clear up confusion among people who have mistaken the Little Theatre for the Children's Theatre of Winston-Salem, Ussery said, and it will better describe what the company does, namely offer a "professional, contemporary product." The theater operates on a yearly budget of about $800,000. It offers plays, musicals, education programs, a second-stage series and collaborative efforts with other organizations.

"We truly feel that the name that has been selected is representative of the theater and everything it offers," said Carrie Collins, who chairs the theater's board.

The term "Little Theatre" won't disappear from the theater's publicity entirely. The new logo has a tagline that reads: "Put a Little Theatre in Your Life."

"It not only pays homage to the Little Theatre name but it's also a call to action to try it," Ussery said.

Theater officials say that the adoption of "Twin City Stage" is part of a larger strategy to increase awareness, increase ticket sales, attract more people to auditions and sign up more volunteers.

To get an idea of what the theater company hopes to achieve by changing its name, consider that the Arts Council Theatre has 540 seats. The Little Theatre generally performs a musical 11 times, a play seven times.

Ussery said that he would love to sell out each show and add two more performances to each run. He called such a scenario realistic because research indicates that the new name will help change audience perceptions of the Little Theatre and lead to greater ticket sales. If two performances are added to each run, the Little Theatre will realize a 15 percent gain in yearly ticket revenue on its current sales of $300,000, assuming that the performances sell out.

Danny Alvarez, a local theater fan, attends shows in New York and has served the Little Theatre as a stage manager. He said he believes that the name change is necessary, pointing out that community theater often comes with a stigma.

"You think glorified high-school productions," he said. This statement goes along with what Ussery believes, namely that several misconceptions are associated with the word "Little."

"People assume that either it's a small room with about 100 seats in it and a bunch of amateurs running around in grandma's bed sheets for costumes, or that it's really geared for children," he said.

In 2000, Alvarez started working across the street from the Arts Council Theatre, where the Little Theatre also has its offices. Until 2003 -- when some friends persuaded him to approach the Little Theatre about getting involved -- he didn't believe the company put on high-quality shows and stayed away from it. His perceptions changed dramatically when he started participating in shows.

"Yes, it is community theater, but it's as high-end community theater that you're able to produce," he said. "People need to know it's close to professional theater."

Are They Serious?

So, yesterday morning I get a call from Mallorie's assistant principal. She advises that Mallorie is scheduled for ISS on Friday due to a violation of the school board's PDA policy. My brain immediately starts to smoke with visuals of Mallorie's transgression. I mean, it's got to be really bad to result in in-school suspension. I tentatively ask what Mallorie did to violate the policy. I'm not too sure I want to know.

"She was standing beside another student, and they had their arms wrapped around each other for an extended period of time."

Crickets start chirping as I attempt to reconcile my R-rated fears to her matter-of-fact response. I stifle the sudden urge to laugh.

"Were they kissing, swapping tongues or touching each others' butts?" I ask. ISS is serious; there's got to be more.

"No. They were hugging for an extended period of time."

Am I being PUNK'D? "So what constitutes an 'extended period of time'?" I ask.

"Longer than a normal hug."

Before I have time to ask for the school's definition of "normal", she goes on to tell me that because Mallorie had been previously warned for PDA violations, verbally and with a written warning in October, ISS was the next step. Apparently the previous PDA violations were for the same exact thing. Hugging.

I go from agog to irritation in .2 seconds flat. What? She received a written warning in October? Why wasn't I advised?

The AP begins peddling her bike backwards. "Well, if I didn't call you...."

"There's no if. " I interrupt, "You most certainly did not call me."

Because she cannot handle disputes or reverse peddling, she immediately asks if I want to speak with Mallorie. Upon negating that offer, she then suggests I speak with another assistant principal - the one who has actually witnessed Mallorie's violations of the PDA policy. After pleasantly greeting me, he explains he saw Mallorie and another student standing face to face (hmmm, the other AP said beside) with their arms wrapped around each other. To clarify the apparent severity of Mallorie's violation he parrots "for an extended period of time". I ask him why I didn't receive a copy of his written warning. He has no clear response. I ask for details regarding the verbal warning. Of course, because verbal warnings are not recorded, he cannot recall. It is at this point that the conversation begins a downward spiral.

I ask if the other student that Mallorie is hugging is female. He confirms. I ask if Mallorie's supposed PDA violation has been reported by anyone other than him. He states clearly that he takes offense to my question. When I repeat it, I hear him typing and he confirms he's been the sole witness.

I recall a past conversation; one in which Mallorie expressed discriminatory concern. It now seems she was right to be concerned. I am no longer irritated, I am flat out pissed. I demand he mail me copies of any and all high school records that contain Mallorie's name. He tersely confirms my address and I end the call.

I immediately email Ken who immediately emails the ACLU.
